Ocean Gray Navy 5'3 x 7'6 Rug

Yes, this rug is hand-tufted with 100% polyester, a synthetic fiber highly regarded for its durability and natural stain resistance. Polyester fibers are less porous than natural materials, meaning they don't absorb spills as quickly, making it a "performance" choice for families with children or pets. The tight, hand-tufted construction also helps the rug withstand the wear and tear of frequent foot traffic while maintaining its soft texture.

Choosing the right size depends on your furniture arrangement. A 5'3" x 7'6" rug is an excellent choice for smaller seating areas or for grounding a coffee table in a compact living room. For larger spaces, our experts generally recommend selecting a size where at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug to anchor the room. This specific design is also available in 6' x 9' and 8' x 10' sizes to accommodate more expansive floor plans.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-tufted fibers, we recommend vacuuming regularly to remove surface dust and prevent debris from settling into the backing. For spills, our care guide suggests blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Because this rug is made of polyester, it is compatible with professional cleaning for deeper refreshes. Avoid using harsh chemicals, which can damage the synthetic fibers or the hand-tufted bond.

Synthetic materials like the polyester used in this rug are particularly well-suited for humid environments. Unlike natural fibers such as wool or jute, which can trap moisture and be prone to mildew, polyester is quick-drying and moisture-resistant. This makes it a reliable choice for homes in coastal areas or more humid southern climates, where maintaining a fresh and inviting interior is a priority.

Absolutely. Layering an area rug over carpet is a strategic way to define a specific zone, such as a conversation area, or to protect high-traffic sections of your primary flooring. The hand-tufted backing provides the necessary weight to help the rug lay flat. When placing a rug over carpet, we still recommend using a rug pad to prevent shifting and to provide an extra layer of cushioning.

A wave pattern introduces organic lines and visual movement, which can soften the sharp edges of rectangular furniture like coffee tables and media consoles. In a navy and cream palette, this pattern offers a "Casual" yet sophisticated look. It serves as a dynamic focal point that pairs exceptionally well with neutral-colored upholstery, providing a pop of high-contrast color without overwhelming the space.
